Happy July 1--- Monday

Can you believe it? We are half way through the year. Where did June go? We are busting at the seams with tourists now. My strategy for the summer is to always do everything in the morning and be home by 3 at the very latest. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining about tourists. I meet a lot of wonderful people from all over the world, it just takes longer to get things done in the summer.
With that said, I would like to share with you a fourth of July card, after all it is only three days away.

The flag image is one of my favorites off of the "Enjoy the seasons Cricut imagine cartridge. My background is made with mixing gesso and jenny Bowlin "spice tin" re-inker. I painted it onto PTI stampers select white card stock. I loved the way it felt going on the paper it was smooth and did not pull and because I was using gesso I was not using my good sable brushes I was using an inexpensive hobby brush. I was pretty happy with the brush strokes also. The stamp set I used is "embroidered blooms" and my base card stock is pure poppy. I also used a little jeweled creation from creative inspirations paint.

Hey twin! I am so loving your card!!! I think the blue ink/paint is just fabulous, it really draws the eye in to the rest of the card! So cool and striking!!! I love that flag cut too, don't have this cart but sure need to get it. lol I'm not sure where you live, but we have lots of tourist here in Gettysburg too. It's the 150th anniversary, so Gettysburg and Hanover are crazy right now! lol Thanks for joining us at BBTB2;-)

Love, love, this patriotic card Diana! Your painted background is a beautiful backdrop for our flag. Happy 4th of July! I say count your Blessings for living in a place where people from all over the world want to come. ( I know you are not complaining) hugs to you!

Love the background you made with the paint-very striking and unique! It sets off the flags wonderfully. Thanks for playing with us at BBTB2 and hope you have a great 4th of July! (I know what you mean about the tourists-I grew up in a tourist town on Lake of the Ozarks and we planned all errands for early in the day in the summer, as the roads would be absolutely clogged later on!):)Michelle
